i don't know why i waited this long to see it! my older brother saw it and liked it enough. but i had no idea i would enjoy it so much. i know these people. not the actors -- but people just like them. in the story, these 2 guys have their 10 year reunion coming up and they want to get famous before they go. so they go out and try to get famous, mainly, but getting an American actress who is shooting a movie in town to come to see their band play. this isn't like a big broad comedy from America. nor is it the simple satire of the crazy monkey mtv adverts. this is slower, lower key, and awfully funny. i had a smile on my face that carried me right out of the theater. the performances are spot on, for south Africa or anywhere... the music was cool. i've been hearing that song on the radio. i'm buying the DVD to see this one again. classic.
